\"logos\"Helping conservation careers and heritage employers across the UK, the IHBC regularly updates NewsBlog readers about the diverse career opportunities posted on our \u2018<\/em>Jobs etc<\/em>.\u2019<\/em> service, with recent offerings extending from a charity Chief Executive (CE: Heritage Lincolnshire) and finance & admin officer (Cleveland Trust) to building inspectors (Stirling), surveyors (National Trust) and much more \u2013 so sign up for free alerts<\/a> today to stay \u2018in the know\u2019 on IHBC\u2019s \u2018<\/em>Jobs etc<\/em><\/a>.\u2019<\/em>!<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018The IHBC Jobs etc<\/em><\/a> service continues to register the wide demand from employers \u2013 regulators as well as wider public, commercial and charity operations \u2013 for posts that require the full spectrum of conservation and heritage-related skills aligned with IHBC membership and accreditation.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Conservation skills that map to the IHBC\u2019s core skills and accreditation standards \u2013 with their unique ties to established national and international interdisciplinary standards \u2013 usually loom large across our jobs adverts, including public, private and voluntary sector employers.\u00a0 This round continues that trend!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Significantly, and very welcome too in terms of the wide scope of the IHBC\u2019s Jobs etc<\/em><\/a> service, the sheer number of recent posts is impressive. In addition, the diverse roles and varied employers reflect pretty much all service levels and sectors, and they are looking to the IHBC\u2019s interdisciplinary heritage network to secure those skills and practice standards.\u2019<\/p>\n

At more senior management levels, for example, Heritage Lincolnshire seeks a new Chief Executive.\u00a0 This represents the ongoing \u2013 if still too sporadic \u2013 formal recognition of the value of professional skills and links\u00a0 at top levels in heritage bodies.<\/p>\n

Of course, national heritage bodies are regularly (though of course not exclusively) using the IHBC\u2019s service for core conservation roles,\u00a0 including: Historic England (Partnerships; Environment Planning Adviser; Historic Places Adviser; Inspector of Historic Buildings and Areas), English Heritage (Senior National Project Manager & National Project Manager); the National Trust (Building Surveyor; Building & Landscape Design Adviser \u2013 Adaptive Re-use).\u00a0 Scotland is notable for its absence from this otherwise inclusive listing, though IHBC\u2019s featuring of the Highlands and Islands in its recent Context<\/em><\/a> will hopefully help raise profile there.<\/p>\n

In almost surprising contrast to the national heritage bodies, more modest charities from across almost all the Home Countries have taken advantage of the open and transparent recruitment offered by the IHBC\u2019s service.\u00a0 They see comfort this process gives to trustees, as those individuals ultimately responsible for staff employed by the charity.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018So, we can see the IHBC\u2019s service being used by bodies such as Stirling City Heritage Trust (Traditional Buildings Inspector (Building Professional or Craftsperson); Heritage Lincolnshire (Conservation Projects Officer); The Cleveland Pools Trust (Community Liaison and Volunteer Officer, and Finance and Administrative Officer)(now closed), and of course the IHBC itself, for its new Professional Development (PD) Officer (now closed).<\/p>\n

Church bodies also look to the IHBC more often these days, including the Diocese of Sheffield (Buildings Officer) and the Diocese of Worcester (Heritage & Conservation consultancy opportunities)(now closed).<\/p>\n

Local authorities, naturally, continue to figure highly as employers using the service, as they seek to build on the IHBC\u2019s uniquely relevant interdisciplinary skills and accreditation networks.\u00a0 These include the conservation professional competences underpinned by the full panoply of principles and actions defined under the ICOMOS 1993 conservation guidelines<\/a>.\u00a0 As practitioners know, all these threads come together in the IHBC\u2019s joint \u2018Conservation Professional Practice Principles<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

Seeking such standards and competences in their staff, recent users of the IHBC\u2019s network include: Somerset West and Taunton (Planning Specialist \u2013 Conservation); Warwick District Council (Assistant Conservation Officer); Royal Borough of Greenwich: (Conservation Officer), Rushcliffe Borough Council (Conservation Officer); Stockport Council (Townscape Heritage Manager): Northumberland County Council (AONB Historic and Built Environment Officer); New Forest National Park Authority (Senior Building Design and Conservation Office)(now closed) and Chiltern District Council & South Bucks District Council (Conservation\/ Listed Buildings Officer).<\/p>\n

Bodies with a more complex operating context, such as BeFirst (London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council\u2019s new regeneration company, tasked with implementing an ambitious Townscape Heritage initiative in the Abbey and Barking Town Centre Conservation Area), are no less aware of the value of using the IHBC to underpin an open and inclusive recruitment processes.<\/p>\n

Private sector employers also see the value of the network-specific targeting of offered IHBC\u2019s recruitment service, and the great value it offers.\u00a0 Recent advertisers include: Stephen Levrant \u2013 Heritage Architecture Ltd: Senior Associate Heritage Consultant (Manchester Office); Tavernor Consultancy (Senior Townscape and Heritage Advisor); Montagu Evans (Graduate (Historic Environment and Townscape) \u2013 Planning and Development, and Researcher \u2013 Architectural and Urban History (Heritage Team);\u00a0 LUC (Historic Environment Consultant)(now closed)\u00a0 and, in Northern Ireland, the titular practice of IHBC Full member \u2013 and regular Annual School attendee – Alastair Coey (Historic Buildings Specialists).<\/p>\n

Clearly employers from all heritage-related areas see the IHBC\u2019s jobs service as a fast and easy way to recruit the people they need, while also comfort to employers, trustees and directors that they have opted for the rigorous \u2013 and as such, the most appropriate \u2013 core recruitment platform.<\/p>\n
